Even after selecting eight players at the 2014 NFL draft, Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen knows there is still work to be done.

Allen will realize there are still holes on his roster and players among the undrafted free-agent pool who can fill them. The Redskins conducted some pretty solid business during the draft, managing to address a handful of obvious needs.

They grabbed another prolific outside pass-rusher to support linebackers Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan. Washington also boosted its depth along the offensive front by adding two tough blockers on the second day.

Allen even found time to land a capable cornerback and continue revamping 2013's diabolical special teams. New head coach Jay Gruden will be pleased he managed to snare a pair of intriguing weapons for his offense.

But the post-Mike Shanahan regime still needs to bolster its defensive line depth and maybe add a safety to compete among a crowded group of veterans.

Stick with this tracker for news on the undrafted rookies who will make their way to Washington.

Hoffman becomes the second wide receiver added by the team after Ryan Grant was selected in Round 5.

Hoffman is a towering, big-bodied flanker who fits the template for wide receivers favored by first-year head coach Jay Gruden. As offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals, Gruden often relied on size at the position.

Hoffman certainly offers that at 6'4" and 223 pounds. He is a committed pass-catcher, but lacks the toughness to consistently win over the middle, as CBS Sports pundit Dane Brugler notes:

Tall, long athlete with a large wingspan and catching radius to snare throws away from his frame. Long strides with controlled footwork along the sidelines and at the top of his routes. Good body control and adjustment focus, displaying proper concentration to watch the ball into his hands.

Lean, wiry build and lacks NFL strength. Too easily out-muscled and will be pushed around by smaller defenders, especially in press coverage. Too straight-linish and upright in his movements, showing some stiffness in his routes. Needs to show better bend and stay low. One-speed athlete and limited after the catch, lacking explosive qualities to consistently separate or create as a ballcarrier.

Hoffman may find it tough to crack the roster at a very crowded position group. Aside from Grant, Gruden can also utilize Santana Moss, Pierre Garcon, Andre Roberts, DeSean Jackson, Aldrick Robinson and Leonard Hankerson.

But Hoffman's physical attributes, provided he learns how to use them more to his advantage, give him a chance.

Washington Adds Beefy DT Chris Davenport

The Redskins needed depth along the defensive line, preferably a few big bodies able to anchor a 3-4 scheme. They got all of those things by signing ex-Tulane defensive tackle Chris Davenport, per Times-Picayune reporter Tammy Nunez.

Davenport is a classic space eater insider. The 6'4" 334-pound trench monster is an ideal fit as a 0-technique playing over the center.

In Washington, that will mean Davenport can compete to backup starting nose tackle Barry Cofield. He should provide strong competition for 2011 seventh-rounder Chris Neild.

Rookie head coach Jay Gruden identified finding defensive line depth as one of the team's priorities in the undrafted talent pool, per Washington Post writer Mike Jones.

Washington Signs Silas Redd, RB

Silas Redd will join a swelling running back rotation in D.C., per ctPost.com writer Paul Devlin. Redd and sixth-round pick Lache Seastrunk have been added to a group that already contains two-time 1,000-yard rusher Alfred Morris, along with Roy Helu Jr. and Evan Royster.

In 2013, Redd rushed for 905 yards as a member of the USC Trojans, averaging 5.42 yards per carry, according to cfbstats.com. NFL.com draft pundit Nolan Nawrocki describes Redd as a "one-cut, inside zone runner."

The ability to make a single quick cut is essential in Washington's dominating zone-based ground scheme. But Redd would first have to prove he can stay healthy. He was in and out of the lineup last season due to various ailments.

Washington's Special Teams Gets Another Boost with Long Snapper J.R. Carr

Washington general manager Bruce Allen really is serious about improving his team's epically bad special teams. Allen's latest contribution to the third phase of football in D.C. is to sign ex-Tennessee long snapper J.R. Carr., according to Knoxville News Sentinelreporter Evan Woodberry.

There is naturally very little information on a player who is a stand alone long snapper, and not one doubling up to do the job while also playing another position.

However, for the gluttons for punishment there is a highlight video above. Special respect has to be given to those who brave it through a near-12 minute video of long snaps without music.

Sarcasm aside, adding a long snapper isn't the worst move for a team that botched its and a few more team's share of kicks in 2013.

Rashad Lawrence Signs with Washington

Just when you thought the Redskins couldn't possibly have room for another wide receiver, they go and sign another one. The latest participant on the wide receiver carousel in Washington is Rashad Lawrence.

The news was confirmed by Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald, via the University's sports twitter account.

He played his collegiate football at Northwestern, but wasn't particularly productive in 2013. Lawrence caught a mere 31 passes for just 463 yards, per cfbstats.com.

Cornerback Bryan Shepherd Joins the Team

Former North Dakota State cornerback Bryan Shepherd has signed a deal to join the Redskins, according to the University's twitter page.

Standing just 5'10" and weighing a mere 180 pounds, Shepherd is hardly the physical, press-based cover man the Washington pass defense needs out on the edge.

But like many of the players acquired today, Shepherd could help the team's quest to get better on special teams. He is a nifty kick returner, something Washington didn't have last season and hasn't really possessed since Brian Mitchell wore Burgundy and Gold.
